Clean Jokes - The doctor and the old man
The doctor and the old man
An old fellow came into the hospital truly on death's doordue to an infected gallbladder. The surgeon who removed the
gallbladder was adamant that his patients be up and walking
in the hall the day after surgery, to help prevent blood
clots forming in the leg veins.
In complete submission, the nurses walked the patient in the
hall as ordered, but after the third day the nurse reported
back to the doctor about how the patient complained bitterly
each time they walked him.
However, this did not sway the surgeon, who directed them to
continue walking the patient.
After a week, the patient was ready to go home. His family
came to pick him up and thanked the surgeon profusely for
what he had done for their father.
The surgeon was pleased and appreciated their gratefulness,
but told them that it was really a simple operation and he
had been lucky to get him in time.
"But doctor, you don't understand," they explained.
"Dad hasn't walked in over a year!"
